Sakuya is shown to have a conflicting loyalty between Mahiru and Tsubaki. Sakuya will not betray Tsubaki because he knows that Tsubaki will not betray him or one of his own subclass. Sakuya is shown to be quite upset upon finding out Mahiru had been lying to him and pretended to hate Mahiru in an attempt to get Mahiru to kill him.

History
During Sakuya's childhood, his older sister was driven to suicide by their parents, who said its was an accident to the police in order to receive money of their daughter's life insurance. Sakuya knew the truth but was forced to lie about the situation, which was also his first of many lies.

At some point after his sister's death, he meet Tsubaki, the Servamp of melancholy. Tsubaki gets how guilty Sakuya feels because he lied to the police - he considers himself responsible for her death, and Tsubaki told him that it wasn't his fault that his sister died.
